This is excellent Cora! Was your pitch inspired by the Lindsay Ellis video by any chance?

No, I'd never heard of her until recently and only watched that after creating the pitch(Banjo can vouch for me here)! I actually take a vastly different stance on the subject than she does and am focusing on stuff from specific music genres that I think she glossed over a wee bit. I've no idea how I would go about doing it but there's a guy called Scott Goodstein who worked on the Punk Voter initiative and ended up doing some digital campaign work for Obama in 2008 who I'd love to have a few words with on the subject.
